A Man with a Withered Hand Healed

⁶ Now it happened that on another Sabbath he entered into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there, and his right hand was withered. ⁷ So the scribes and the Pharisees were watching closely^[a] to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, in order that they could find a reason^[b] to accuse him. ⁸ But he knew their thoughts and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Get up and stand in the middle,” and he got up and^[c] stood there. ⁹ And Jesus said to them, “I ask you whether it is permitted on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save a life or to destroy it?”^{[d] 10} And after^[e] looking around at them all, he said to him, “Stretch out your hand,” and he did, and his hand was restored. ¹¹ But they were filled with fury, and began discussing^[f] with one another what they might do to Jesus.
